At the beginning of 2016, all the ASEAN countries are moving to become one ASEAN Economic Community (AEC). The alliance is set to begin with the promise of “a region with free movement of goods, services, investment, skilled labor, and a freer flow of capital.” Absolutely, the music and culture need to be areas that receive attention and support, as it is one of our most cherished aspects of Southeast Asia. Having this congress in Laos is an opportunity for the region’s music leaders to visit Laos and learn about us, and for us to learn about you. It can open doors, create opportunities, and improve awareness of music development in the ASEAN region. I certainly believe that your participation in the SEADOM Congress 2016 will be beneficial and we hope you enjoy your visit to Vientiane, Laos. I look forward to welcoming you all. Mr. Bouangoen Xaphouvong Minister of Information, Culture, and Tourism, Lao PDR 2 Message from Thai Ambassador to Lao PDR Mr. Noppadon Theppitak The rich cultural heritage of Southeast Asia is one that needs the support and investment of its citizens and governments to nurture. I am pleased that so many Southeast Asian people have an interest in preserving, promoting, and expanding our rich tradition of music and culture and value the mission that the Southeast Asian Directors of Music Association has undertaken. The Royal Thai Government is proud of its role in helping to support SEADOM, and we are grateful that our neighbors the Laos People’s Democratic Republic are open to welcoming everyone for this year’s event, taking place this year between March 24-26, 2016 at the Laos Cultural Hall in Vientaine. I hope this time spent will foster stronger connections and collaborations, as we push forward into a shared future where Southeast Asia is connected by shared value of its cultural and musical heritage. Welcome and enjoy this event. Mr. Noppadon Theppitak Thai Ambassador to Lao PDR 3 Message from the SEADOM President Bernard Lanskey It is a great pleasure to be welcoming so many colleagues from across the Southeast Asian region and beyond to this, our eighth SEADOM gathering and our second conference since achieving formal recognition last year. I am very grateful to everyone in the SEADOM office in Mahidol University for bringing this complex project together in Laos, the sixth ASEAN country in which we will gather. We are grateful also for everyone on the ground here in Vientiane for their support in making this possible. In particular, I would like to thank Mr. Bouangoen Xaphouvong, Minister, Dr. Douangchampy Vouthisouk, Deputy Director General, Department of Performing Arts, and Mr. Touan Mouanchanh, Director of National School of Arts, Ministry of Information, Culture, and Tourism, Lao PRD for their great help and support to make this Congress 2016 happen in Vientiane, Lao PRD. In many ways, this is our most ambitious congress so far. It is likely it will be the largest gathering, it will be the first in which we have a range of papers being presented, and it is the most ambitious in terms of student involvement, both from a performance perspective and in terms of integration into the event itself. I would like to thank our keynote speakers, Mr. Noppadon Theppitak and Ms. Mist Thorkelsdottir, for giving up their time to be with us. This year’s theme, Inspiring Fresh Evolution, is of great significance across the region where there is so much potential for moving music forward both in terms of professional recognition and in relation to quality enhancement. We are aware that Laos is moving to develop a tertiary programme and we hope we can help offer support in this crucial period of its growth. Our thanks to members across the region for supporting students to come and join in the shared SEADOM performance project that is running in 4 parallel with the Congress (and to Ty Constant and Juckrit Charoensook for their leadership of the group). Finally, I would like to thank the members of the SEADOM Executive Council for their support in drawing up the schedule of events for this congress and for their advocacy and help in moving the project forward. These are exciting times in Southeast Asia. The arts and music have a role to play in bringing colour and cultural resonance to the transformations we see around us. It is our duty as educators to inspire the artists of tomorrow to make a difference in the transforming landscape. I am looking forward very much to meeting up with everyone over the coming few days. Wishing everyone a most stimulating congress! Advocacy My personal perspective is that this dimension of SEADOM is perhaps one of the most crucial: to develop a stronger regional appreciation for the role of art in our transforming society and to advocate for the centrality of educational pathways so that artists can make the most of their talent, both by receiving training opportunities of first rank and by being exposed to networking possibilities so that there is a regional as well as national dimension to our music-making. Last year, our gathering to consider advocacy was perhaps the smallest in connection to the different SEADOM themes. In one sense, this is understandable as we already know how important music is, so that, in many senses, what has to be done seems not to be to convince us but to convince others. However, this is the central point: even within our own institutions, regional development is still yet to receive sufficient focus, while beyond the institutions, the arts are often less seriously considered than most other aspects of artistic endeavor. Arguably, however, it is the arts which will help our region to determine what makes it special, what offers unique and engaging resonance, and we have make time to make sure that what we know gets heard. I am very grateful to Isabella Pek for her commitment in facilitating our case for recognition by ASEAN at a formal level. As I write this, we are still to hear the outcome of this exercise but it has been a most healthy, valuable and necessary exercise to undertake in positioning ourselves more centrally in the psyche of the region. Thank you also to the national representatives for their work in advocating the development of the organization as a potentially valuable force. In order to speak for music, we also have to be in a position to be taken seriously as an organization so the internal advocacy is also essential. Bernard Lanskey President SouthEast Asian Directors of Music 6 Message from the SEADOM Chief Executive Officer Joseph Bowman It is a pleasure to welcome everyone to the 2016 SEADOM Congress. This year’s theme “Inspiring Fresh Evolution” seems appropriate as Southeast Asia enters into a bold new future for the region with the ASEAN Economic Community. Just as this community is new - SEADOM as an association is new - growing, developing, learning, finding its way was more and more interested and motivated people join us. I am grateful to the support from the Laos Ministry of Culture in hosting this year’s congress, as well as the National School of Music and Dance for their energy to host the SEADOM Student Project. Our SEADOM members, as always, play a vital role and helping us develop our capacity and I am incredibly grateful for that. Finally - the SEADOM office team has pulled together to make this congress happen. I am continually honored and humbled to work alongside such dedicated and thoughtful folks. It makes every day a special one and I look forward to us working together well into the future. Enjoy the Congress!

  • Shuo Chang (说唱): Giving Voice to and Through Xinyao（新谣）, a Musical Practice in Singapore
    Shuo Chang (说唱): giving voice to and through Xinyao（新谣）, a musical practice in Singapore EUGENE DAIRIANATHAN CHIA WEI KHUAN Associate Professor Associate Professor National Institute of Education National institute of education NANYANG TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY NANYANG TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY 1 Nanyang Walk, Singapore 637 616 e-mail: [email protected] KEY WORDS Xinyao, shuo chang, voiced sounds, phonation, music and text, Singapore ABSTRACT Singing – as a natural human expressive outlet – is a phenomenon both assumed and understated and a few reasons are offered to account for this ambivalence. First, the act/tivity understood as ‘singing’ disguises its psychoacoustic reality as ‘voiced sounds’ (Sundberg 1991) as well as its secondary biological function (Vennard 1967, p. 37) in human endowment. Secondly, as sound ‘personifies’ (Ihde 2007, p. 21), ‘voiced sounds’ personify the confluence of individual and social identities. Finally, as a combination of sonorous and lyrical textuality, ‘voiced sounds’ interpret sonorous outcomes such that words, vowels, and phonemes are so many ways of singing the world (Merleau-Ponty 2004, p. 217). Our study of 新谣 (Xinyao) as a musical practice in Singapore (Groves 2001) examines the assertions of singing ‘as a natural human expressive outlet’. Following the accounts of a prominent voice in the practice for whom singing is 说唱 (shuo chang) – speech singing, we suggest an understanding of shuo chang first as voiced sounds and second as a practice involving voiced sounds. Much of the research material for this paper was obtained with funds from a research grant awarded by the National Arts Council of Singapore in 2002. INTRODUCTION - XINYAO (新谣) The musical practice of Xinyao (新谣) appears in an entry on Singapore in the Groves Dictionary of Music and Musicians as ‘a Mandarin vocal genre accompanied by guitars which began in the early 1980s among teenage students’ (Groves 2001, pp.
